I am not big on meats . I will eat meats but I prefer non meat food. I have wanted to do a chili with nothing more then a variety of beans , spice and tomato. Surprisingly my kids and husband who are big on hamburger and such actually really enjoyed this. So we all were happy ! Ate this for 2 nights with no complaints. We did it with cornbread, but next time it will be salad

Steps

1

Open all cans of beans. Drain juices. Add to crock pot
2

Add in onion
3

Add seasonings. Chili powder, onion powder, taco seasoning. Mix well. Red and black pepper if using. (as you can see, I add a lot of spice because my family loves chili to be extra spicy) stir well
4

Add in the tomatoes and tomato sauce. Stir. Set crock pot on high for 4 to 6 hours. Stir every hour if your crock pot is like mine. Mine gets over hot so a lot of times I use medium heat longer.
5

Before serving, shred the block cheese and dice onion as a topping. If making cornbread do this now or use butter bread.
6

Serve with butter bread, cornbread or salad. Enjoy

I was a stay home mother for years, and loved it. I'm always interested in trying new things and try to get my kids to try things at least once. I don't measure a lot of things. I go by taste and need to work on that .... I use a lot of different recipes, enjoy looking at ones online and trying them . I tend to change things to so you never know. I haven't been able to cook much for a bit , but I'm hoping to change that soon.
